Congrats brother :)
Porting SYS (If you using old kitchen tools) then you need go by my old sys porting tutorial thread. If you using new kitchen tools then you dont need to replace anything, simply run g'reloc on old sys, write the .vm values somewhere and run the tool again on new sys and change the .vm there to what you wrote down ;)

[fcukmayank]

can u explain the procedure if i use the hybrid kitchen

[newdecember]

Can you post the Package?

yeah here you go

i think i did everything but i can't be sure

[kancrutt]

i try to remove some programs from Onyx Ultimate ROM then delete files from \Desktop\HyperCore\Build\SYS\MSXIPKernel
BuildOS succed, but after flashing finish, my Elf stuck on "smart mobillity"
what wrong?

[fcukmayank]

kancrutt bro

u r trying to extract a protected rom

u always have to start from a base rom i.e a shipped rom

[kancrutt]

ohh really it means Cooked ROM cant be Edit?

[newdecember]

some cooked roms have a protection feature built in,
it stops anyone from messing around with them

if you want there is a good base rom that i used to start off with...its WM6.1

thanx bro, i will try to start with nu ROM base

[Noonski]

Changed the package around a bit.

At first nothing seems changed about it

And maybe i should mention that a lot of people are using new File Naming Schemes for Packages.(More popularly used nowadays)

Off course you can always use any scheme you like.

First thing i did was get rid of 000- before the files.

And i have added an underscore at the end of the file extension.


Here's a little Question (not really) anyone ever wonder why and how HTC is able to put 1200 manlila files into Windows folder and it not have efect on performance oposed to not adding those 1200 manilla files?

Theory, Windows mobile does not know the extensionless Manilla file format so it ingores these as it makes a cache/index of Windows folder.

So if your going to put files into sub dirs from Windows folder that have no more use in Winfolder.

Why not give it an extension Windows does not know.


Another thing is that Ervius Package Creator .DSM Files Are weird.

They look okay, but as soon as you replace them with a self made blank .dsm file from a txt file, all of a sudden a package can start working again.

Another pointer there is no need to ad a rgu file that holds no registry settings, just delete the .rgu file.



Pfew Good thing we have a few New Teachers/Graduates around.

thanks noonski, i'll give that package a whirl, hopefully it works, :D

i'll rmember some of those pointers

if this works then i'll start opening a can on XIP and SYS porting....

Actually, I had to add that prefix when I created a new Esmertec Jbed OEM. Otherwise, the device hung at the first splash screen after flashing. :confused:

Wow!! That is an amazing tip. I never knew that. I guess I should try that for my OEMs.

Another thing I notice about Ervius' package creator is that the RGUs are not always correct, especially when the registry entries have file paths with quotation marks.

Normally, I open the original CAB file with OCP WinCE Cab Manager and then copy and paste the registry settings into the RGU file. This is the best way to ensure the registry settings are not messed up.

Thanks

[Noonski]

Hey it's a theory based on No technical details to back it up.

But i tend to follow my theories and just pray that they end up being true or backed up by someone more technical.

just one more question

how can i protect my 6.5 and 6.1 rom so dat no one messes wid it

[kancrutt]

how to change NETCF from 2 to 3.5? overwrite files or insert cab to OEM?

[Piranha1]

Hi folks
Has anyone done with the visual a 6.5 Rom kitchen to cook.
I think I will be too old for the s..., `m too slow or stupid to do so.


Many thanks to Googel, but I think that would translate well.:D

[madsurfer1]

were can I find the fixes for the scroolling issues on m2d and all the registry fixes, and instrutions if possible to fix all major windows and m2d issues/bugs?

Thanks and regards

[Noonski]

just one more question

You have to go through the batch files that make the rom and look for.


copy ROM\OS.nb temp\OS.nb

pushd temp


..\TOOLS\NBSplit -kaiser OS.nb
Rem rename os.nb.extra os-new.nb.extra
..\TOOLS\ImgfsFromNb OS.nb.payload imgfs.bin
sleep 3
..\TOOLS\ImgfsFromDump imgfs.bin imgfs-new.bin
..\TOOLS\ImgfsToNb imgfs-new.bin os.nb.payload os-new.nb.payload -bigstoragemove
..\TOOLS\NBMerge -kaiser os-new.nb

move os-new.nb ..
Then add

TOOLS\all_packages_to_one
del buildpkg.wrn

Like below

copy ROM\OS.nb temp\OS.nb

TOOLS\all_packages_to_one
del buildpkg.wrn

pushd temp

..\TOOLS\NBSplit -kaiser OS.nb
Rem rename os.nb.extra os-new.nb.extra
..\TOOLS\ImgfsFromNb OS.nb.payload imgfs.bin
sleep 3
..\TOOLS\ImgfsFromDump imgfs.bin imgfs-new.bin
..\TOOLS\ImgfsToNb imgfs-new.bin os.nb.payload os-new.nb.payload -bigstoragemove
..\TOOLS\NBMerge -kaiser os-new.nb

move os-new.nb ..
It also makes the rom faster.

Attached is the allpackages to one exe for the tools folder.

how to change NETCF from 2 to 3.5? overwrite files or insert cab to OEM?

Remove the regular package and replace with the one attached.

I'll be making an SQLCEserver 3.5 package soon to so i can cook OpenCellID Logger.

Unless someone has that package already :D

I started a thread but it did not get enough attention of making complete noob kitchen based on that rom, there was a discussion and solution for the srolling issue. Check my user profile statisctics for my started thread.

I'm merging post because i don't want to hit 5000 (and keep it clean)

thanx master :D
i work with 3.07.707.02 base ROM, and want to remove some programs, which files we can not remove them from the ROM / System?

[Ameet]

I'll be making an SQLCEserver 3.5 package soon to so i can cook OpenCellID Logger
What is the SQLCEserver 3.5 good for?

[Noonski]

thanx master :D

Ffor starters don't remove the DRM folder from SYS if you want Album to play back video in FullScreen Player.

(Someone's going to kill me for finally finding the solution to a problem in one of my older Touch Roms)

What is the SQLCEserver 3.5 good for?

There are only a efw Apps that need it. But it helps making an SQL database.

OpenCellClient is a CellID mast logger it tries to detect Operator Cellmasts (and Wifi Mac Adresses) and couples it to GPS coordinates.
You run it a little while (while i bike) and then send the Database to an online Database.

If it's used enough it creates a better Open Database making it easier to do positioning without GPS.

Also great for Remote tracker if someone steals your phone and Remote Tracker cannot get a GPS fix you can ask it to send back the CellID Position Info.

I was allready using and helping the old SPV-Developers CellTracker 6 years ago or so. Back then it allready had a better acuracy then GoogleMaps has today.
The Project got mysteriously canned and i was always waiting for people to restart it.

All that is needed now is software that can act like a GPS receiver (send geo positioning through a Com port translated from the CellID Info so regular GPS Sogtwaer can run on that info) And there is no more need for GPS (uses less power asyour phone is always constantly scanning for nearest CellMasts)

how bout increase Memory Ram?

[Noonski]

Ap part of that is Ameet's Expertise removing stuff from XIP and ULDR and such.

Me i'd say check your running services using DotFred'ds Taskmanager.

Then look up the services in your Rom folders and remove them from the rgu files ;)

I especially like to remove stk services (useless piece of software that no/not many cooks remove)

And you can change your PaGEpOOL.

Also having a smaller Rom can have effect on the amount of free RAM (the earlier mentioned cache of files in the Windows folder so the OS can get faster acces to these files)(this part is not theory but fact) Less Files in Windows Folder increases free memory, speed and battery life)

Also found that not using the HTC taskmanager in my Touch Diamond also increses Battery life, Diamond Taskmanager does more then just manage tasks like inject services to start and do interval checks on the available memory)

[fcukmayank]

i have the latest 21510 sys and xip
for win 6.5

which kitchen should i use for building


when i use hybrid kitchen i get an error integar outflow


can i use rebuilder kitchen based on bepe rebuilder kitchen

[Ameet]

Also found that not using the HTC taskmanager in my Touch Diamond also increses Battery life, Diamond Taskmanager does more then just manage tasks like inject services to start and do interval checks on the available memory)
Then what to use as task manager in the ROM? Can ya link the package that you use as task mansger? :D
can i use rebuilder kitchen based on bepe rebuilder kitchen
Hybrid, I dont think is built for WM6.5 yet. Use Ervius's visual kitchen or use Bepe's kitchen directly. Both kitchens you will need to edit your current folder structure on a masive scale though :D

[Noonski]

I use QuickMenu 2.8 with a larger Item height as taskmanager.
I don't use it's battery meter or memory in taskbar,

I use it because it's the most productive way to open programs and controlpanel items, i ned to get around a lot and fast. (no new manilla large startmenu or tab for me.). It also has taskmanager (but it's taskswitcher has issues working from Manila home screen) and i have set it's LongPress Start menu to Hybernate memory.

For good memory management and application killing i use Dot Fred's taskmanager, also nice to dsable and enable services while doing on device adjustments.

Even I like that TM but what to do for the boot launcher regs? e.g.

I dont use mort anymore in the ROM, so how should I launch these keys at boot? Bootlauncher package? and if yes then how? :D

Services can be turned into regular Windows HKLM\Services

By changing the registries to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTCVolumeControl]
"DLL"="\\Windows\\HTCVo lumeControl.dll"

And the exe items can be turned into regular Windows\Startup items
Or incorporated into a timed mortscript in startup to control when they start.

You wouldn't need
the

Item as thats for taskmanger itself
(close apps if to much memory is used to start camera or not start camnera)

BTW
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\Launche r\1]
Can also be
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\Launche r\HTCSensor]

You don't need the numbers unless you want it to be the order the servises start but that's also controlled by order registry item.

That's why i stopped cooking publicly.

Some users just don't understand what i do with my roms ;)

Or you can go extreme and use dotfreds taskmanager to load services through startup shortcut.

[kancrutt]

[Ameet]

Services can be turned into regular Windows HKLM\Services
By changing the registries to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTCVolumeControl]
"DLL"="\\Windows\\HTCVo lumeControl.dll"
So, for example launcher (current) 2 will become
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTCVolumeControl]
"Order"=dword:0000000c
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Info"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="VOL"
"DLL"="\\Windows\\HTCVolumeControl.dll"
BTW
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\Launche r\1]
Can also be
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\Launche r\HTCSensor]

What about this though? If i dont include TaskManager then what good witll be this reg key?

[Noonski]

Your right in both cases.

I just wanted to mention that you don't need to use numbers in those cases.

And to be honost i still have taskmanager cooked, but not running to close windows or on the homescreen. Haven't had the time to change all this.

Giving the whole engine an overhaul, and even polishing up the tiny parts like giving each App an unique Icon (almost unique then):D

Well I'm going to try to use the bootlauncher package to load the services and the exe at startup :D Lets hope we can let go of the TM completely :D

Hi,
With your help i able create my own from Shipped Rom.
when try recook from cooked ROM,itz getting error.

Can you help me......

thank for reply.
i am not able create SYS&OEM from Dump

[fcukmayank]

thank for reply.
i am not able create SYS&OEM from Dump

looks like you are dumping a cooked rom

you can't do that

[Ameet]

thank for reply.
i am not able create SYS&OEM from Dump
Hmm.. Which ROM are you trying to dump? If you are dumping a cooked ROM then you need all the dsm & rgu files which you can copy from your existing OEM & SYS dirs into the dump dir and then try to rebuild packages ;)

[sendhiloo7]

replacing .VM is enough, if u are using old kitchens... but if u use Bepe's platformrebuilder, u dont need to replace anything (except for dpi's, mui's etc if needed). also make sure wincenls_wwe is there inside the SYS.

[Noonski]

Hey Aman smart Nick change.

Maybe i should change mine to !!Noonski!! :D

Haha.. I love seeing the nickname when you click on "Members List" at the top ;-)

When using Platform Rebuilder, be careful how you use it for other devices. For example, when cooking for the Diamond, the WinCENLS folder has to go under the ROM/XIP folder and not SYS; otherwise you'll brick. For Elfin you should leave it under SYS.

[Noonski]

Doing my hopefully final flash to test the XDA UC.

If SDConFig.txt exist run at third boot if not run at second boot:D

Ready for Beta testing Whooo Ha!

There used to be a time i could say Rock and Roll *******!

Now i have to watch my language:rolleyes:

CrossPosting is good Confusion is even better.

[!Aman!]

thanks! i changed my nick a long time back, almost 3 months now... i was just not posting here, had some personal problems.

Oh really... after bricking the Diamond, I read a post from Ameet where he said you couldn't ;) Ok I will ask him.

I have got myself the ELfink_WWE kitchen which is basically a dump rom and platform rebuidler to build rom. I have dumped a WWE 6.1 Rom base rom that builds again perfectly and I can remove all the junk out of it and still builds fine. I want to use the SYS and XIP for WM6.5 (thanks to dsixda) so that its becomes WM6.5 BUT when I delete my SYS and copy over the WM6.5 SYS the build ROM just errors first with the windows message that windows has encountered an error and the app will be shutdown and then says errorlevel and some really randown numbers that done mean anything to me.

How do I change the XIP and SYS of my 6. base to make it WM6.5 ??? using platform rebuilder I been looking for ages and not found out.

skauk,

For Platform Rebuilder you can just swap out the SYS with the new one (as I told you before). For XIP, just swap out the MSXIPKernel folder. ... the OEMXIPKernel folder stays the same as before.

I didn't need to change OLDKERNEL for mine, it's the same for 6.1 and 6.5.

I didn't need to change OLDKERNEL for mine, it's the same for 6.1 and 6.5.

Are you using the updated version (2.1)? I ran into an error after updating to 2.1 and not setting the variable appropriately, but now looking back the problem was my ROM would hang, I didn't get an error while building. The variable is not used in the first version.

I dont have those variables in my buildROM batch file. I dont see where i can work out what version it is but if i right click on the platform builder icon it says file version 2.0 ??


I got 2.1 from the dark forces post and copied it to my basic bepe kitchen I just need to edit the buildrom.bat I suppose with thie 2 variables above ?

Make sure you have 2.1 with that variable set to 1 for both wm6.1 and wm6.5.

[trueg]

Make sure you have 2.1 with that variable set to 1 for both wm6.1 and wm6.5.

This is from darkforcestream.com

Updates:
platformbuilder.zip V 2.1

New Variables:

set OLDKERNEL=1 (in "build_rom.bat")
- This variable MUST be set if you don't have a real AKU5 nk.exe
- If you are using an AKU5+ nk.exe remove this line from the bat file or set it without a value: set OLDKERNEL=

I believe alot of the WM 6.5 ROM dumps are not using a native AKU5 which is why it still works when set to 1. There was leaked copy of WM 6.5 for the Raphael (a.k.a. 21169 autobuilder build) that was released and the kernel from that has been in use for the last few weeks (on the Raphael at least).

I at least get a decent error message although i dont know why really, I have copied the XIP from wm6.5 into the ROM/XIP folder in the kitchen it even says found 2 XIP when you first start platform rebuilder it completes the whole of the plaform rebuilder bit and then opens a new dos window for IMPLANDXIP and then says in red NO XIP SECTION FOUND. error level 4

thats because u have removed the ULDR and implantxip doesnt support ROMs without ULDR. u need to use msflsh50 tool to insert the xip instead of implantxip.

[fcukmayank]

replacing .VM is enough, if u are using old kitchens... but if u use Bepe's platformrebuilder, u dont need to replace anything (except for dpi's, mui's etc if needed). also make sure wincenls_wwe is there inside the SYS.

u can rely on bepe's kitchen for everything including xip porting. using bepe's kitchen, u dont even need to have .VM and .ROM inside the SYS, u can just delete them.

If you use the exact same version of Bepe's kitchen found in the Hybrid Kitchen thread, then you shouldn't have problems. It doesn't use ImplantXIP.

also change the following line

"%path_exe%bin\IMGFSFROMNB" "%~1.PAYLOAD" IMGFS.BIN

That did more than before gave me a desktop folder called IMGFS but looking at Bepe's video it doesnt give me the other file so i can get the XIP, I know Bepe in the video uses Dump_800 but i thought that was due to the ROM using 0x800 ??

I edited the Dump_800 as well just changing the

"%path_exe%bin\IMGFSFROMNB" "%~1.PAYLOAD" IMGFS.BIN[/code]
to
"%path_exe%bin\IMGFSFROMNB" "%~1" IMGFS.BIN

That ran fine without a windows error, created me a IMGFS folder that i can build with package builder, it also created an OS.nb.payload file that i tried to use with the DUmp XIP but it doesnt work says again there is no XIP section.

Its the once DSIXDA posted in the the shiped ROM sticky that had the Radio and IPL/SPL removed. I can dump the SYS, OEM and EXT correctly using bepe's toolset but when i try and get an XIP I just get the folders with the names of the DLL's and not anything I can build into packages to get the OEMIPKernal etc.

I can however use the other Demo kitchen for Elfin that posed on the Kitchen Sticky thats based on bepe's platform rebuilder kitchen and it dunps the whole shipped ROM out to SYS, OEM and EXT fine and I can re-build it and flash fine. But when i copy over the SYS and XIP that DSIXDA has posted for WM6.5 I get buid errors.

I have two kitchens that Bepe shows to work fine but they dont for me....

Need some help just port a SYS and XIP into an existing 6.1 ROM Dump am I using the best tools for the job ?

You mean the Elfink_WWE kitchen says thread title is "Example Kitchen based on bepe's Platformrebuilder"

Thats the one I downloaded first before the Dark Forces one. Its the one that allows me to unpack my 6.1 shipped ROM from the nbh file which i drop into the BaseROM folder. Its also the one that lets me rebuild the 6.1 ROM no problem.

But then its also the one that when I delete the SYS folder and replace it with yours and Delete the XIP folder and replace it with yours it wont let me build it for love nor money. Which is what is frustrating me. I even tried just replacing the 1 folder in the XIP folder and leaving the OEM one from the 6.1 ROM. Nothing seems to work.

I did watch the video on Bepe's dark forces platform builder version and saw him drop the nb file onto the DUMP_800 icon which doesnt work for me without hacking at the createROM batch file and then it doesnt seem to complete 100% and im left with a half extracted ROM.

What could possibly be wrong with what im doing with the Koto example kitchen, is there anything that needs editing in the batch files from the download to make it work.??

Guys, delete your kitchens and burn them to hell. Just use Platform Rebuilder... It's what we have been talking about all this time. I even said in my SYS/XIP post that I used Platform Rebuilder. It doesn't need those stupid .VM .ROM folders and manual relocating. You guys don't listen :D

The 6.1 shipped rom has loads of stuff in the EXT folder in the kitchen so I renamed it and starting from scratch with a blank EXT folder.

It is advisable to use this for adding apps ?? there is an app that allows you to turn the screen on and off that must be in the old EXT folder was wondering when I find it is it worth putting it into my new EXT folder or converting it to a SYS ??? If thats possible.

What package is it that allows the power button to be used to turn the screen on and off. I have got a battery power app in my system folder already but when I turn the screen off it wont turn back on.

But if your screen doesn't turn on anymore when you press power, i'm not sure PSShut will solve it.

You don't need the EXT folder. Just put your Packages under OEM... and all the new Microsoft build files go under SYS/XIP.

Ah right so I need to convert them

Some work to do then lol, the file I was missing from the EXT folder that would let the screen power be turned on and off was the power app although.

Before I added it the battery icon appeared in the system folder after I added the app from the old rom it didn appear and couldnt be run from windows folder on the device.

i found hybrid kitchen to be more useful than bepe kitchen

i found porting sys and xip on hybrid more easier

is there anyone who also agrees wid me????

In hybrid kitchen

I took the elfin 3.07 nbh form this forum... upper thread... unpack it... place on thje source... all extracted OEM XIP SYS then... move them to build os and load the app... to build it... finaly use the room tool by htc and... convert it as nbh for elfin wwe... and i get the final product but it cant be flashed to my elfin...?

I read the log for the build os... and in sys it says no RGU found in all the modules? is this why it can be flashed to my phone?

I did the xip port using the xip.bin and try again... nothing happends the result is the same...

anybody has an idea what am i skipping? :confused:

[skauk]

OK I got my WM6.5 to boot after porting it from a shipped 6.1 ROM. I kept the OEM from the 6.1 ROM but the SYS and XIP are both 21502 WM6.5. There were plenty of packages in the EXT folder of the 6.1 ROM and I have excluded them all.

When I flash this 6.1 OEM and 6.5 SYS / XIP ROM I get an icon in system for battery power but when I press the power button to turn the screen off I cannot turn it on again. I looked in the 6.1 ROM'S EXT folder and found 2 applications for power they are as follows:

1) Power 2_18_0_1
2) PowerOffWarning 1_15_0_0

Now I know Power Off Warning is the warning message that pops up when you turn the device off. However the other one Power 2_18_0_1 I believe is the app that allows me to turn the screen on and off cause when i cook this into the ROM and re-flash it I can then turn the screen on and off.

HOWEVER: I no longer get a battery power option in my SYSTEM folder and when I find power.exe in the windows folder it doesnt run to show me battery power etc.

Is this incompatability with the old 6.1 apps and the 6.5 OS ?? or do I need a tool to convert the EXT to OEM packages ?

@skauk
i´ve the same version of power and its working without problems, its related to energy, so i think it has notinhg to do with your screen off issue, the power off warnig is more related to the power button, but... i dont think

make a test to discard power off warning, change the program with psshutxp(a version with a real power off), its more functional and you can see if this is the problem

Now I know Power Off Warning is the warning message that pops up when you turn the device off. However the other one Power 2_18_0_1 I believe is the app that allows me to turn the screen on and off cause when i cook this into the ROM and re-flash it I can then turn the screen on and off.

HOWEVER: I no longer get a battery power option in my SYSTEM folder and when I find power.exe in the windows folder it doesnt run to show me battery power etc.

Is this incompatability with the old 6.1 apps and the 6.5 OS ?? or do I need a tool to convert the EXT to OEM packages ?

try using the hybrid kitchen

[kancrutt]

i will post it as soon as possible in MADE IN INDIA THREAD
yes i need it too

[skauk]

My kitchen is fine I know cause the person I got it from uses it fine. I think my problem with the screen not turning on and off with a quick press of the power button might be something more to do with my backlight.exe instead of my power.exe.

I noticed that when I flash the ROM and it loads the screen is very dark unlike when i flash ONYX 6.5 ROMS. If I dont get to the screen calibration part before the power.exe turns the screen off then i cannot press the power button to get the screen back on. So I need to work on that I think.

[skauk]

I have read the threads about AutoRUN customisation.

I have created a folder in my OEM folder called SKAUK_Packages and in that folder I have created a config.txt file with following in it:

LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Windows\regupdate.cab
EXEC:\Windows\SDAutoRun.exe

I then edited mxipupdate_oemoperators_107.provxml and deleted everthing apart from the following:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<!--000.02_XML Pool-->
<!--Autorun settings-->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Comm">
<parm name="AutoRunCFG" value="\windows\config.txt" datatype="string" />
<parm name="AutoRun" value="\windows\AutoRun.exe" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

Does this all look correct cause when I build and flash the ROM, I dont get the customising after 3 seconds message but when I look at the registry on the device the AutorunCFG and AutoRun values are set right.



Could it be my OEM.cer file?? I am still using the one from my SHIPPED 6.1 ROM that prompts you cause install packages are from an unknown publisher.

[madsurfer1]

Hello dear friends, I have some doubts, so, if anybody can give me a helping hand i would be very apreciated.

So... here it is:

How can I change the windows default colours, like the one (blue) in the start bar, etc, wich registry entry must I change?

Were can I find the registry entries for the sms notifications and enable threaded sms?

Finally what tweaks do you guys apply to make a faster rom?

I would make sure that these registry settings are in a RGU file to instead of a ProvXML .

ProvXML files are being prosseced at the first Boot RGU files already are present at first boot.

Also you need the CheckAutorun.exe and .lnk file (which should be in Windows\StartUp
folder.

It's a good idea to look for a Pakkage that Loosenes or removes installation security.

Don't have the exacts ( kinda at work stuff)

But there is a ProvXML file inside the SYS folders that holds your anwser.

[madsurfer1]

Thanks forr the reply Noonski I'll look into that, what about the tweaks, do you got any reading material or similiar that can help me on that?

Regards

[Noonski]

The short and classic anwser to that is.

1. Remove everything you don't need in your rom.
2. Remove startups from \Windows\Startup\ that do not influence the working of the Rom.
3. Remove Services not needed from HKLM\Services
4. Apply and test various Cache settings registry keys.
5. Try different Pagepool settings.
6. Use a save setting on BTStatus overclocking 240mhz seems to be a save settign for ELF.
7. Go crazy like ameet and free up even more Memory reducing files in XIP.
8. Find ways to get us little as possible files in the Windows Directory.
9. Patience, and no sleeping.

And now i have to kill you for knowing the simplest and best kept secret to making a fast superfast rom.:D

can we make shortcuts that point to storage card in initflashfiles? something like this Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("GoogleMaps.lnk","\Storage Card\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.lnk")

[trueg]

I hope you guys don't mind me posting in here. It's been a while since I sold my Elf, but I have a question that isn't device specific.

I downloaded the MS 6.5 SDK. I was able to dump the OEM and SYS, but I am having a hard time getting the XIP. When I try to dump the XIP, all I get is the nk.exe. Does it make sense that an SDK image doesn't have a full XIP like we would find on our devices?

[Noonski]

Sometimes the Storage Card isn't initialised yet this early in the Rom Starting Process.
So if SD card is not yet init by OS and you have this link to make in initflashfiles it will create a folder called Storage Card on the Root, thus screwing up the recognition of your SD card ,tha tthen might become Storage Card 2.

Smart thinking as that's the closest thing to an official build there is.

I'm going of theory here but as these builds are meant for emulation i wouldn't expect them to have full XIP.

Did you try using it with older XIP files from other Beta WM 6.5 builds?

Ya, I have it working with an XIP from Da_G. The SDK includes build 21234, which is old compared to XDA standards, but I wanted to see if I could build myself a ROM using stock files from Microsoft. The SYS was complete although it didn't include ADC. I originally got it working with Da_G's XIP based on 21725 (for the Touch Pro). I'm currently using Da_G's XIP based on 21234 (so that it matches). It would have been nice to port the SYS & XIP, but it makes sense that the SDK doesn't include an XIP.

tnx, I thought we have to specify a variable or something in initflash in order to get it working, anyway i solved it by adding the .lnks (pointing to programs in sd) to a package that put it in windows folder and then adding to initflashfiles normally, more easy but duplicate files

I'm not sure what part you need help with. I had no problem dumping the latest Topaz ROM using Platformrebuilder. Are you just looking for a newer SYS/XIP, or are you hoping to port the HTC applications from the Topaz?

Edit: Sorry, I guess I should have read your post more closely. You simply want an updated XIP/SYS? Well, just grab any stock ROM from HTC and dump it using your choice of kitchen or Platformrebuilder. Instructions for porting the XIP and SYS are in this thread and/or forum. The Opal is almost identical to the Touch. You can find a fairly recent ROM here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505361. Port the XIP & SYS and keep your OEMDrivers folder. Everything else should work as is.

[newdecember]

I've tried it. I believe it is just a pretty face for platformrebuilder and I really like platformrebuilder. If you change packages or languages often (cooking for a large audience) it makes it a lot easier to pick and choose what you want to include. I currently cook just for myself so I don't really need the added convenience provided by EVK.

I'll give you one for starters i learned from a little bird that wishpered in my ear. (Might have been Aman or Ameet)

Remove the Update and FWUpdate folders from SYS.
But keep the packageinfoapi.dll file from FWUpdate.

Searh for FeedBack in the Registry and you should find an On Of Switch for Customer Feedback.

But you should also look for getting Rid of SQM and put in a Dummy CustStat.ll

I can only guide you in the right direction, the journey you make is yours alone:confused:

There's a Tool you can put in your kitchen called AllPackagestoOne.exe that can get rid of all those .DSM and .RGU files.

Luckily HTC is getting rid of those Excess ProvXML files, finally someone's at that Company.

Some MS Control Panel items are sometimes defined in RAI registry keys and sometimes by a simple "Enable"=dword:0 added to it's control panel Registry entry can be enough. But just Visually.

Default Customisation, Do you mean the Cab files and config.txt?
If so Cab's are Evil, Try replacing cabs you find with OEM versions of the Cab's or make the OEM yourself.
Some Cab's HTC puts into Rom's are nothing but last minute fixes they did not compile in there by default.
So you have to do it for them, and actually apply the fixes they tried to implement through those cabs.

I have never removed Domain Enrolment From Rom completely, as it is used by many users, so it never came up in my mind to get rid of it.

Anybody has SYS and XIP of WM 6.5 lastest version? Pls share with me!

I'm trying make an 6.5 ROM with OEM of HTC Mega for Elfin but still not success! If anybody has experience pls give me some advices!

Thanks so much!

[newdecember]

search the forums, you'll find it somewhere around here,
i can't remember if i saw it posted by true_G
just port em over to the elfin using the tutorials on the first page,
it'll take a bit of trial and error but you'll be able to do it eventually

be careful with some of the mega packages as some of them are for 3g and not 2g like the elfin

[trueg]

No, the last Elfin stuff I posted was for WM 6.1. I use 6.5 on my Touch Pro, but I use RTM 21234 SYS & XIP (ripped from the SDK).

ahh rite sorry true_g i was wrong. knew u posted 6.1 stuff

u don't happen to have the rom u dumped all the mega OEM packages from do you?

if not point me to the right place.... :)#

I follwed the first two steps in extracting a base official rom then rebuilt it back but i noticed that the size of the base rom before extraction was 126mb and after rebuilding it was only 89mb knowing that every thing went smooth without any error messages (is this normal)

should i proceed and try to flash it to my elf (the base rom was for elfin ) and would hardspl protect me from bricking

Thanks in advance:)

Yes Ext rom get's removed to (since it can be removed from Elf devices it's a good thing)
Hypercore has been a while back now for me.
But When your extracting a rom SPL, Radio, IPL Ext_ROm And Bootscreens also get extracted.
Don't know to which folder this was in hypercore kitchen.

The HTCRT.exe tool can be configured to include these into a Rom.

But out of safety this is not set as default in kitchens.

One of my first posts also never got answered, but not trashed :eek:.

I know who dun it and i know why. it was to tickle you into becoming a better cook by overcoming unanswered questions ;)

Or maybe because the answer was in the wiki.
It was during a time that there was a small get in line campaign going on in the ELF Fori.

In whatever limited time i get for myself , i am learning to cook a ROM. I have manged one [personal use only, nothing great]. My question is if i try dumping a cooked rom (and not a shipped rom) i am not able to dump the XIP. Is there a way around this ??

Edit: The only thing i came across is "Some cooked ROM's will take an expert to recook by deleting some info to make itself smaller." Hmmm guess i'll have to learn more. Any pointers would be appreciated

EDIT 2 : Never mind i found that. I used ELFin_Hybrid_Kitchen for dumping XIP and then used Hypercore to rebuild it.

P.S: The best thing that happened after dsixda left was that people actually have started putting in the efforts to cook thier own rom and not ask for it :D [thats including me]

[mango1122]

Need help guys.I have searched the forum and couldnt find the answer.

Heres what i did.I took a stock rom for elfin n removed some programs n added some.cooked it and flashed it [used hypercore].It worked fine.I had a doubt.the original rom was125mb.the one i cooked was 75mb.Then i searched the forum and found out i was missing the Extrom. I added the extrom and the size became 99mb.So i concluded out that the rom was lesser in size cause it did not have radio ipl spl etc.
now my question
1. Is my conclusion correct ?

Part 2

Today i used onyx ultimate4.6. i dumped it using elfin extended kitchen.for some strange reason i wasnt able to dump xip using hypercore kitchen.Anywayz i finally recooked it without any modification.The original size was 67mb n cooked 47 mb.i flashed it but it hung at the smart mobility screen. I searched and found that size reduction is normal cause no ipl etc .so my next question is

2. I know i am missing something but dont know what.I have been going over it again and again and going mad :D . Perhaps someone can give me some pointers
Why is my re-cooked rom hanging at the smart mobility screen
And yes i have searched the forum before posting this

ipl 3.10
hspl 3.10

[Noonski]

The rom should be a minimum of 50 MB.

There is a work around for that if i'm correct.

Hypercore also applies a bit of compression on some files.

There is no need to include the Ex rom.

[newdecember]

i think the workaround was to upgrade to a newer USPL or HSPL as they allowed it

i could be wrong though...

also. i downloaded this from Da_G's thread on wm6.5 here... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445) but i'm at a bit of a loss, have ported the XIP (i think..... not too sure if it has worked correctly using hybrid kitchen) and i think everything else is from the sys for the same build... but its all in VGA with 192 dpi
the build is 23022, anyone know if it would work or would i need to find a qvga version for this build?

[mango1122]

The newer IPL and SPL allow ROM's less than 50mb to be flased. Nevertheless i used NikMel's method to hexedit the rom and make it above 50mb.
Still wouldn't work.

Searching around i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365210&page=2
"the easyst way is to copy "OEMDrivers" map from wm6. You should copy XIP files one by one from other rom and put it in a map with the same name. "

you can't recook a cooked ROM, they are protected.

[mango1122]

yes but how are they protected?

[sasa66]

yes but how are they protected?

Hi in the kitchen there is a tick box with a phrase beside (Dont touch my rom) making the rom undumpable again by making all packages into one.

[Noonski]

In new Ervius Visual Kitchen's the "Don't Touch My Rom" shows up as an option.

I older kitchen s the AllPackagesToOne.exe needs to be added to get a Slimmed down Rom (it's the reason i use it, not to protect my rom but to get rid of excess .RGU and .DSM files)

Also i think removing the ULDR part will get an undumpable rom.

But i have yet to see that removal of ULDR brings more performance than cleaning the rom out.

I have said this in a few other threads, but even HTC is using this style by reducing "*System Recognisable files" inside the rom.

They are doing this by making their ProvXML files into normal registry entries and by using file types that are not set as knownnfiletypes in the OS.

Some people believe that having manila file in subdirectories wil help in performance, but it won't, as Manila files are not known by the OS so they are not cached and catalogued. It's why they changed from using .wav files to ._wav files for Slide out sounds.

So if there's anything you want from a rom that you can't extract, just ask the cook if you can use them package in question. And respect if it's something particular that the cook does not want to share.

[sasa66]

Hi
When i extract the elfin shipped rom with hypercore i can find Boot.rgu but it is missing when i use visual kitchen although the kitchen gives me a success in dump and rebuild any advise.

Wow.. i have too started cooking.. and i am stuck the same way as mango1122... my rom is of 98mb... it gets stuck at smart mobility.. what might be wrong... so cant i use a cooked ROM as my base.. so how do i cook 6.5 rom then... i have 20924 XIP and SYS but here i dont have xip.bin from where do i get this xip? ... also OEM folder can be left empty?

i am using Hybrid kitchen.. coz adding packages are easy wheres in Hypercore i dont see where evirus package tool being used... any1 know how to do this?

But in Hybrid kitchen there is different problem.. when i build i dont get that htcret option where you can select the radio, IPL and SPl stuffs... without asking this it directly builds the nbh file.. does that mean by default it's not including any spl's and radio??

Basically there is no good tutorial on cooking.. all tutorials explain the how you go on using the kitchen... but no one has explained abt COOKING.. what i mean is For cooking you need these folders... this folder will contain this .. likewise i need the process of cooking the background of it.. can any1 link me to such tutorial if there is any??

as far as i know for cooking you need

OEM - i am still not sure what this folder contain , when i dumped my stock rom i get OEMAPPS,OEMDRIVERS and many such folders.. my question is are these folders compulsory??? and what will this folder contain usually??

ROM - this has XIP folder, XIP.bin and OS.payload so what files compulsory here.. i saw some tutorials abt porting a xip... where can i find a xip.bin of 6.5??? and what is the use of os.payload thing?? and what will this folder contain usually??

SYS - .ROM, .VM and many app packages... sometime it has "Dont Touch My Rom:)" Folder .. here can i move the contents of this folder outside and use for buliding??? and what will this folder contain usually??

Packages - Here you put all the custom a\packages and select it Evirus package creator...

If you want to cook a clean version of WM 6.5 for your device, why not start with a dump of the SDK?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=20686a1d-97a8-4f80-bc6a-ae010e085a6e&displaylang=en

download the emulator that matches your device.

You have the choice of installing the emulator or not.

If you don't want to install it, simply open the .msi file with something like 7-zip. From within that file open the file sdkfiles.cab and extract CGen_0409_PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN to an empty folder.

If you chose to install it, go to \Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC\DeviceemulationV650\0409 and copy PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN to an empty folder.

*file and folder names are assuming you downloaded the US English version. I also assumed you have a QVGA device (I don't, but this is the Elf forum).

Attached to this post is the zip file Dump_SDK.zip. Inside are some tools you can use to extract the emulator image.

I prefer PlatformRebuilder to any of the old 6.1 kitchens.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3456337&postcount=7
It uses the same OEM\SYS\XIP structure and works really well. It's what I use, so that is what I will discuss....

extract Dump_SDK.zip to the same folder as your BIN file.

drag and drop the BIN file on to Dump_SDK.bat and let it run.

Once it is finished you will have a new folder named IMGFS.

Assuming you have PlatformRebuilder installed, drag and drop the IMGFS folder on to \Platformrebuilder\TOOLSET\packagebuilder.exe

this will organize all of the files into packages within either the OEM or SYS folder.

The only file of value in the OEM folder is \OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat as this file creates the folder structure and shortcuts for most of the default applications. Since some of the file names and locations have changed with 6.5, it's a good file to keep. HTC also uses this file sometimes, so if you are missing shortcuts to any files, take a look at the initflashfiles.dat (using a text editor) from your old ROM to see how they are different (WinDiff is a good program for showing line by line differences between files).

You will need to grab the rest of the needed files from a dump for you existing device (preferably, the most recent official ROM from HTC for your device). You can use PlatformRebuilder to do the dumping (see the tutorial video linked from my post linked above).

If you wanted to try and get it running with the least amount of extra crap, try the following...

Copy .ROM & .VM from a dump of an official release for your device (you may not need one or the other, but I can't remember which so use both).

You may want to add ADC (auto data config) to SYS (I've attached it to this post).

From the OEM folder of your official ROM dump, you will need OEMDrivers and maybe OEM_Lang_0409 (contains help files & resource replacement files).

As for the XIP, the SDK doesn't come with a complete XIP and even if it did, you would still need to port it. If you can grab an XIP for 21234 that has already been ported to your device, you can use that. If not any WM 6.5 XIP ported to your device should at least get you up and running.

See the attached text file Custom_WM6.5.txt to see the changes I made to my ROM once I had it up and running.

[trueg]

If you have never used PlatformRebuilder before, the video tutorial here (http://www.bepe80.com/test/1/) shows you how to dump and then rebuild a ROM.

Perhaps start with a HTC official ROM for your device. Once you are able to dump and rebuild that, swap in the 6.5 SYS from the SDK (or one that you have downloaded). Keep the .ROM & .VM that should already be there from your dump. In the OEM folder delete everything but OEMDrivers, which has all of the drivers needed for your device (and often a bunch of other crap you don't need).

I believe you said you have an XIP for WM 6.5 already? The XIP files you need for PlatformRebuilder are the XIP folder, os.nb.payload, romhdr.bin and xip.bin.

[depakjan]

Awesome bro.. thank you very much trueg ... i wil reall try this out once i leave home from my workplace.. hopefully i will sucessfully cook a 6.5 rom tonight... if i have doubts i will get back to you in this thread or will PM you.. tahnks again..

[depakjan]

i keep getting this error while extracting imgfs :(

[!Aman!]

nbsplit.exe is not to be used for Elf(in)s

[trueg]

i keep getting this error while extracting imgfs :(


Are you using PlatformRebuilder or a custom kitchen?

[depakjan]

does that mean i cant use platform builder for elfin?... i just dragged my nb file onto packagebuilder.exe and it uses nbsplit.. what can i do then?

[!Aman!]

does that mean i cant use platform builder for elfin?... i just dragged my nb file onto packagebuilder.exe and it uses nbsplit.. what can i do then?
replace and use the attached batch file for dumping.

[svprm]

This kitchen will work for Elfin?

[trueg]

Did you view the video tutorial from bepe? There shouldn't be a problem using PlatformRebuilder for Elf (though I only started using it after I got my Raphael). You drop the os.nb on dump_200.bat not packagerebuilder.

[depakjan]

after using the patched dump it's working now.... i have couple of doubts..

can i use XIP and SYS from different builds?? (eg XIP of 21234 and SYS of 23028)

i built a ROM using the following steps but it stuck at smart mobility screen... please tel me what am i doing wrong

OEM folder - It contained the same OEM folder i extracted from this file PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN

Packages folder - it contained some mega packages ... nothin else

ROM folder - it had XIP folder, os.nb.payload, out.bin and romhdr.bin.. inside XIP folder .. there where lot of dll's starting from busenum.dll to TrueFFS.dll, a boot.hv file , a boot.rgu file , a dsm and rgu file and mxip_lang.vol file (This XIP was given by mike which he was using for elf)

SYS folder - this folder contained all the files from 23028 build available for download (SYS_23028_96DPI_0409.rar)

What is wrong... it gets stuck at smart mobility...

[trueg]

Yes you can mix and match XIP & SYS

getting stuck at the first screen could mean a registry error or a bad/missing driver.

You need to use an OEMDrivers for you device. The only file you would want to use from the OEM of the SDK is the initflashfiles.dat. You can not use the OEMDrivers from the SDK.

XIP folder sounds fine.

Have you been able to build a working ROM at all? I would suggest you start with an official HTC ROM. Dump it and rebuild it and make sure you can get that working. Then make small changes until you understand everything that is going on.

[depakjan]

i am trying to build a 6.5 rom... problem is i dont have anything to use as a base... maybe thats why i end up with a bad rom.... if i try to port a xip none of the cooked roms have xip.... uf i use platformbuilder even the official rom does not the payload file... so i am confused... but still trying... no idea where to get oemdrivers otherbthan the sdk

[trueg]

Before you worry about building a 6.5 ROM, get a handle on everything by building a working 6.1 ROM. Download an official Elfin 6.1 ROM (there are a couple to choose from - 3.07/3.10 etc). Follow the video tutorial and get a working build of 6.1. Once you have a working OEM, XIP and SYS you can try swapping out parts to get a 6.5 build up and running.

As far as getting drivers, you need to get them from an offical Elfin ROM. Everything begins by dumping an official ROM. Dump it, rebuild it and test it. Then keep the OEMDrivers and anything else in the OEM that you want. Swap out the XIP and see if that works. Then swap out the SYS, etc etc.

[depakjan]

Thanks trueg.. but i cant find OEM folder for 6.5.. since there are no stock roms for 6.5 i cant dump it.. all the cooked roms are protected.. when extracted it does'nt give OEM folder.. so i am searching for one.. if any1 is kind enough to upload their 6.5 OEM folder it would be very helpful....

[trueg]

Ahh, I see where you are getting held up. Until HTC releases 6.5 for your device (likely never) you have to use the OEM drivers and software from 6.1. Only the XIP and SYS will be 6.5.

[depakjan]

So using a 6.1 OEM drivers for a 6.5 ROM should not be a problem??

[trueg]

So using a 6.1 OEM drivers for a 6.5 ROM should not be a problem??

Indeed, it is the only way until HTC releases 6.5 for you device (which may never happen). The OEMDrivers for your device are specific for your hardware.

For example, before HTC released 6.1 for the ELFin, many cooks used the 6.1 OEM files from Opal, but even though the hardware was similar, we still had to use the 6.0 OEMDrivers that came with our devices.

So, I suggest you dump a 6.1 ROM for your device and see if you can rebuild it successfully. Then I would remove things that may conflict with 6.5. In fact, see if you can build a ROM with just OEMDrivers and OEMLang. Once you have that working, swap in a 6.5 XIP and SYS and see if you can get that working.

Actually, you can download the source files for my last ELFin ROM here....
http://www.myunspace.com/?d=44B27A391

and to take it even further, I went in to my old source files and removed all of the stuff that may interfere with 6.5. If you want you can download it here....
http://www.myunspace.com/?d=2463BCAD1
This is the OEM folder from 3.10.710.0 that I used for my last ELFin ROM with some of the packages removed. If you pare it up with the XIP and SYS from my source files above, you should be able to build a working ROM. If you then swap out the XIP and SYS with the XIP that you were given plus the SYS from the SDK you should be able to get something that works.

[newdecember]

tried to build a rom using the tutorial with the SDK posted by trueg. followed everything to the letter, and tried to build a rom using the the OEM from wm6.1

as soon as i open packagerebuilder i get this error appearing

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=217447&stc=1&d=1250542458

i have no idea where i am going wrong, as i haven't changed anything in OEM as of yet

the only thing i think i am missing is the XIP.bin file as i am using one from another kitchen but the file was not there. is it really needed or is there any way i could get it? XIP is 21222 and the SDK SYS is the one from the link trueg posted.

[trueg]

How about using the XIP and SYS from here first to see if you can build a valid 6.1 ROM, before trying to get 6.5 working?

http://www.myunspace.com/?d=44B27A391

Thanks for sharing, i was reading for the past weeks and trying to encourage myself to buid my own rom, i thought it was more complicated. Will try to make a 6.1 rom and then a 6.5 rom. I allready have a back-up dump from my phone when i buy it. So thanks again. :cool:

[trueg]

Do you want to try this WM 6.5 ELF rom I just made up using an XIP from dsixda and SYS from SDK? If it works I will upload the kitchen for you.

http://www.myunspace.com/?d=C0715D5C1

[honcorrd]

Downloading, let you know, thanks

Flashed so far all it's going well

Memory Storage 136.73 Program 77.82

- battery icon on today menu doesn't go to power setting
- when soft reset or power off/on messaging app show up on taskbar, have to hit the X on the upper right to close

From that all the rest is working fine

[depakjan]

upload the kitchen trueg.. that would be really helpfull.. thanks for everything...

[trueg]

Well I'm glad it worked. I will upload it tomorrow.

the battery icon pointing to the power settings is a registry setting. If you can't find it before tomorrow I will post it.

Messaging coming up after a soft reset is the bootloader. I no longer use the bootloader from HTC, but I believe this can also be changed with a registry setting.

[honcorrd]

ok, thanks. I'm not very familiar to reg editing, i only edit when someone allready did the trick and share it in the forum.

ok, one step up to start cooking, last night i extract my back-up os.nb with platformrebuider. Today will do the rest to make my first stock rom 6.1

[trueg]

Here is an updated version of the ROM which should fix the two issues mentioned (battery & messaging). I can't test it myself.
http://www.myunspace.com/?d=473838591

I will be uploading the kitchen shortly.

For completeness sake, the battery icon link to power setting is this....
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBa r]
"LimitedClock"=dword:0
"ConsistentClockOrBattery"=dword:0

To stop messaging from opening on boot..
Change
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\T Mail]
"Module"="\\Windows\\tmail.exe"
"CmdLine"="-noUI"
to this
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\T Mail]
"Module"="\\Windows\\tmail.exe"
"CmdLine"="-RunInBKG"
You could also try removing the tmail entry from bootlauncher.

[trueg]

Here is the kitchen I used to build the ROM posted just above this post.

http://www.myunspace.com/?d=170435AA1

It's a slightly modified version of the kitchen by Kokotas. It's based on Platformrebuilder and has batch files by Kokotas. In order to support WM 6.5 I updated platformrebuilder.exe to 2.1 and added set OLDKERNEL=1 to build_rom.bat.

I dumped 3.10.710.0 for the OEM and EXT packages (using this kitchen to do the dump). The XIP came from dsixda and the SYS was obtained by dumping the SDK using "Dump_SDK" that I posted the other day.

I added the battery registry change to the RGU in OEMDrivers and modified the registry entry for Bootlauncher in EXT.

dsixda has also made his kitchen public. It can be found here (http://www.4shared.com/dir/11831267/325e6228/sharing.html).


If you want to use Platformrebuilder as is, you have to make a few slight changes....

-The OEM & SYS from the above kitchen will work fine with a standard install of Platformrebuilder.

-For the EXT packages move them from ElfinK_WWE\EXT\IncludedPackages to Platformrebuilder\BASIC_RK\EXT\

-Update to 2.1 and add "set OLDKERNEL=1" to build_rom.bat if you haven't already

-Make the following change to \BASIC_RK\TOOLS\CreateROM.bat

Change this
..\TOOLS\IMGFS\ImgfsToNb imgfs-new.bin OS.nb.payload OS-new.nb.payload -bigstoragemove
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge -kaiser OS-new.nb
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

To this
..\TOOLS\IMGFS\ImgfsToNb imgfs-new.bin OS.nb.payload OS-new.nb -bigstoragemove
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

REM ..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge -kaiser OS-new.nb
REM if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

-Finally, if you want to use the os.nb.payload that came with Kokotas's kitchen, make the following additional change to CreateROM.bat

Change this
REM ================================================== =========================================

echo.
..\TOOLS\implantxip xip.bin OS.nb.payload
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

REM ================================================== =========================================

To this
REM ================================================== =========================================

echo.
..\TOOLS\msflshtool.exe OS.nb.payload -r xip.bin -p 0
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

REM ================================================== =========================================
and copy msflshtool.exe from \ElfinK_WWE\TOOLS\ to Platformrebuilder\BASIC_RK\TOOLS\

otherwise rename your os.nb to os.nb.payload and copy it to \BASIC_RK\ROM

A major benefit to using Kokotas's kitchen is that he uses yang.exe to automatically build the os.nb into a flashable ROM. With Platformrebuilder, you need to manually build the ROM using something like HTC ROM Tool (htcrt.exe).

Thanks for sharing and responding. So this kitchen has it all, so if i click on the build_rom it will actually buil a rom?

I spend the last 3hrs reading to better understand everything in this thread.

if i want to update the build i replace the sys and xip from the new update?
in \ElfinK_WWE_2.1\EXT there are two folders, ExcludedPackage and IncludedPackage, in there i include and exclude the apps that i want to install :confused:
What about the OEM and Base Rom Folders?

Yes, it should build the same ROM that I posted today (has anyone tested that by chance?).

I put the packages that I didn't think you would want to use in ExcludedPackages which means they do not get included in the ROM, but I left them in that folder in case you wanted to try them. The packages in IncludedPackages are included automatically when you hit build.

What about the OEM and base ROM folders?

[honcorrd]

Yes, it should build the same ROM that I posted today (has anyone tested that by chance?).

Yes i currently have it fashed, work fine, will test with it. Will play with removing and adding package to see how it goes.

Hi trueg,

Thanks for the kitchen and everything.. i am at my workplace and i cant try it now... i will do this the first thing when i get home.. but one thing i need to understand is can i use Packagebuilder+buildOS in this kitchen.. when i used platform builder.. it din invoke this application .. it just created the nbh directly.. also this Packagebuilder+buildOS does all the G'reloc thingy.. so platform builder also does that automatically???..or i have do the G'reloc manually... coz i read in a tutorial that while porting XIP G'reloc has to be done..

[trueg]

The kitchen is complete, nothing needs to be ported. If you download it and hit build_rom.bat it will build the ROM that I posted. Once you have it working you can play around with the packages and settings to get it the way you like. If you plan to use some other SYS and XIP you may have to do various things to port it over.

[depakjan]

Yea i have been trying the port the latest XIP and SYS .. thats why the question.. but anyway no problem.. i will learn it stp by step.. thanks again..

OMG!!!!!!!!!!... i finally found the problem... i have been building and building.. thinking that the porting i am doing was wrong.. but the thing the ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen has probably some issues with 6.5.... the same stuff when i use the kitchen given by trueg.. it surprisingly worked well.. huf!!!... all this time i have been roaming all the threads.. and i finally found out... i was abt to give up... thanks trueg for the kitchen.. most probably i am guessing that Greloc thingy is the problem in the hybrid kitchen... i even changed it to WMreloc it always gets stuck at the smart mobility screen....

I'm not sure about the error, but is there a reason you are so intent about testing leaked builds? When HTC releases 6.5 it will most likely be based on 21234 since that is officially Windows Mobile 6.5. Everything afterwards is experimental changes and fixes for 6.5.1 and beyond.

Can you be more specific about what you did and what didn't work?

ok, sorry for not be clear.

i,m trying to undestand all the process but it is confuse :confused:

Know that i download the kintchen ready to go, how about changing thinks around. ex. add and remove package. Remove unecesary apps that came in the build.

Build the rom
flashed to my elfin

Know that i download the kintchen ready to go, how about changing thinks around. ex. add and remove package. Remove unecesary apps that came in the build.


I try to add package in the \EXT\IncludedPackage from the \EXT\ExcludedPackage
Build the rom
flashed to my elfin


But when i check in start menu non of the package i add were there

OK, which application did you try to add?

Also, is the HTC Task Manager working? I included it from my Raphael. There didn't appear to be any VGA specific graphics, so I figured it should work. It's the icon at the top left that shows you what is running and allows you to close applications.

[trueg]

Well, I'm felling generous, so I'm going to post a bunch of information that may or may not help you decide what you may or may not want to delete......

OEM Folders
BuildInfoPkg - contains text files that help HTC keep track of release information - safe to delete
COLORSKIN - contains a dummy file named PACKAGE_COLORSKIN.dmy - not used on Raphael so I'm not sure but probably safe to delete
ConfigAP - contains config_AP.txt which is used by AutoRun (see AutoRun details under OEMAPPS post).
CONNECTIONSETUPDB - contains the provision.zip file which is used by connectionsetup. - safe to delete assuming you are not using connectionsetup (see connectionsetup details).
ExtendedPkg - contains config.txt which is used by AutoRun (see AutoRun details).
ExtraFilesPkg - contains updated graphics for several HTC programs like MP3 Trimmer & USBtoPCPopUP. Created to match the colour scheme of TouchFlo (dark blue, grey & black). - Safe to delete, once deleted the programs in question will use original graphics.
LangDB - empty - safe to delete
OEM_DPI_96 - empty - safe to delete
OEM_Lang_0409 - contains help (*.htm) and resource replacement files (*.mui) as well as several templates for notes (*.pwi).
*.htm - feel free to delete unless you want the help files in question
*.mui - required for their respective programs (can be deleted if you no longer use the program it is destined for).
*.pwi - template files for notes - I don't find them useful - safe to delete
initflashfiles.dat - creates folders & shortcuts for various programs - do not delete - can be edited to fit your needs.
mxip_initdb.vol - database file for use by contacts - do not delete
mxip_oem_translation_0409.provxml - creates control panel entries for HTC applications like Device Information & Power (since these programs do not have cpl files).
mxipupdate_RemoteDesktopMobile.provxml - creates shortcut for Remote Desktop Mobile
OEMAPPS - see separate post
OEMDrivers - see separate post
OEMMISC - contains shellcelong.dll (don't delete) and registry settings for Windows Live
OEMOPERATORS - used to contain carrier configuration files, but these are now found in OperatorPkg - currently empty and safe to delete
OEMVersion - contains a single provxml that sets the ROM version for use in DeviceInfo.
OperatorPkg - contains a bunch of garbage for customizing the ROM for use with a particular carrier - in the case of 3.10.710.0, an Australian carrier - I may create a separate post for this

I also included HTC Taskmanager & FdcSoft Task Manager in separate folders within the OEM folder.

[trueg]

OEMAPPS
AutoRun - an application that can automatically run after flash, HTC uses it to install several cabs, make minor fixes and change various settings. - I will make a seperate entry for AutoRun later.
Backlight - a control panel replacement for the default Backlight cpl from Microsoft.
CapNotify - not used (hardware keyboard app)
CheckAutoRun - gets copied to startup by initflashfiles.dat and is used to initiate AutoRun
CSDtype - control panel app for configuring circuit switch data
GPRSAuthentication - control panel app for controlling GPRS settings
IconDll.dll - contains a couple of icons used by HTC
InternetExplorer.lnk - shortcut to Internet Explorer that gets placed in \Windows\AppButtons by initflashfiles.dat
KeyLock - control panel app for controlling keylock
KeyLockTray - tray applet for enabling backlight with hardware key
Messaging.lnk - another shortcut destined for \Windows\AppButtons
mxipupdate_oemdisable2577_100.provxml - doesn't seem to be valid - not sure what this is supposed to do.
override.dll - used to override the use of resources, not sure if it is used at all
SMSService.exe - control panel app for controlling SMS settings
STKTray* - tray application for Sim Tool Kit (see Sim Tool Kit under EXT)
SwitchUSB_PPC - not sure what this one does
TiwlnapiCE.dll - dll for use with WiFi
WiFiInit - I assume an app for initializing the WiFi adapter
WirelessService.dll - dll for use with WiFi

[trueg]

OEMDrivers - the OEMDrivers folder for the ELFin is fairly clean. For the most part you want to leave the drivers (dll) alone. That leaves only a few files...

*.wma - ringtones and alerts by HTC - ringtones are copied to \Windows\Rings via initflashfiles.bat. WM 6.5 prefers \Windows\My Ringtones but will still find them in \Windows\Rings.
animation.dll - used for startup animation
AutoShortcut - an alternative method that HTC uses to create shortcuts vs. provxml
camera.lnk - camera shortcut that's copied to \Windows\AppButtons
mxip_cold_OEMDRIVERS_* - contain various registry settings - don't delete
mxipupdate_zzRemoveTSKmgr_1.provxml - removes Windows Task Manager from Start Menu
RemoveGPS.provxml - removes GPS Settings from Control Panel
RemoveWifi.provxml - removes Wireless LAN from Control Panel among other changes
StartupAnimationEngine.dll - Startup animation driver

[trueg]

OperatorPkg & OperatorPkg_PT - for the most part, there is little of value here.
a lot of the files are used to change your home page, create favourites and create icons for favourites. The startup animation gif and sound file are located here (animated.gif & BootUpHTC.wav).

The bulk of settings that you may want to look at are in the provxml files. In fact you may want to swap them for the provxml files that originally came with your device, since this is where the carrier customizes the behaviour of the ROM to match the requirements of their GSM network. If you are ambitious, you could go through each setting and figure out what it does. I did that for myself, but that would be too much information for me to post here.

AutoRun - located in OperatorPkg is config_operator.txt & the AutoRun settings. In particular, at the beginning of mxipupdate_oemoperators_107.provxml you will find the following code...

<!--Autorun settings-->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Comm">
<parm name="AutoRunCFG" value="\windows\config_operator.txt" datatype="string" />
<parm name="AutoRun" value="\windows\AutoRun.exe" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

This is where your AutoRun config file is specified. AutoRun uses this file to launch cabs and make changes automatically during the first boot after flashing. Here's what happens during AutoRun with 3.10.710.0...

config_operator.txt:
LOCK:Enabled ;all input from screen & keys are disabled
TSK: \WINDOWS\HTC.tsk ; default theme is changed
XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Operation.xml ; homepage change
CFG: \WINDOWS\config_PT.txt ; open next config file (found in OperatorPkg_PT)

Config_PT.txt:
XML: \WINDOWS\RemoveArrtibMMS_0409.xml ; removes attributes from MMS images
EXEC:\Windows\AutoAttribute.exe \Windows\MASD_RemoveReadOnly.txt ; removes read only attributes from files listed in txt
CFG: \Windows\Config_AP.txt ; opens next config file (found in ConfigAP)

config_AP.txt
CAB: \WINDOWS\GoogleMaps-ms-htc_compressed.CAB ; installs GooglesMaps from cab
CAB: \WINDOWS\WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.CAB ; install Opera Mobile from cab
CFG: \WINDOWS\config_end.txt ; opens next config file (found in OperatorPkg)

config_end.txt - more homepage & Opera Mobile changes
EXEC:\windows\AutoVer.exe
XML: \windows\File_Operation_OperaAdr.xml
LOCK:Enabled ; again locks out input
CAB: \Windows\Opera_Skin.CAB
XML: \WINDOWS\Opera_Splash.xml
CFG: \Windows\config.txt ; opens next config file (found in ExtendedPkg)

config.txt
LOCK:Enabled ; again locks out input
LOCK: Disabled ; enables screen & key input
RST: Reset ; resets device

If any of the above commands fail while LOCK:Enabled, you will not be able to press any buttons or click on screen. If you delete one of the cabs and AutoRun errors out, it may seem like the unit has frozen, but it is simply because it is unable to continue and will not accept any input by screen or button. You can test this by calling your phone, it will ring, but you can't answer the call.

[trueg]

Should I keep going with EXT & SYS? Is anybody actually reading this?

[Taninpv]

Thank You, Trueg..for taking your time to address the formula for us newbies.

Regarding your question about SYS/EXT.
Sure, the more information we gathered, the better we can whip up our own ROM.

Again, thank you for your time.
You are the man !!

[trueg]

EXT - Here is a brief rundown of the packages that are included with 3.10.710.0

2DManila - a.k.a. TouchFlo 2D, normally not included with Windows Mobile 6.5 now that we have Titanium.
AdobePDF 2.5 - Adobe PDF reader, software hasn't change much at all over the years, but usually included to provide PDF support.
AdvancedNetwork - Control Panel applet that you configure GSM/GPRS/SMS settings.
Album - HTC's custom photo and video application, mainly designed to work with TouchFlo, but can still be integrated if you like. Requires HTC Guesture.
App_Service.dll - I couldn't find any applications that referenced this dll and I have deleted it on my Raphael. It's only a single dll, you may or may not want to delete it.
Arcsoft_MMS - MMS application included by HTC, required if you want to be able to send & receive MMS messages.
AudioBooster - audio equalizer - allows you to manipulate bass, treble, etc etc.
AudioManager - Audio player by HTC. Designed to work with TouchFlo, but can work independently (may require HTC gesture)
BluetoothSetting - adds option to disable required passkey for beam
BootLauncher - service loader by HTC. Designed to allow HTC to launch services that are unsigned by ROM but signed by HTC. Technically not necessary as all files built into ROM are signed. Let me know if you want to learn how to load services the correct way and avoid BootLauncher.
BTBPP - enables file push over Bluetooth
BTSAP - Bluetooth SIM Access Profile - allows your device to sync contacts with BTSAP devices (automobile BlueTooth for example).
CAMERA - HTC Camera (requires mHubVO & DSHOW)
ClearStorage - application that lets you do a hard reset instead of just doing a hard reset.
CommManager - HTC's answer to Wireless Manager (I prefer Wireless Manager)
connectionsetup - application that automatically sets up your data connection assuming your GSM carrier is in the database (provision.zip). Not required if you use ADC (Auto Data Connection) included with WM 6.5.
CyberonVoiceCommander - alternative to MS VoiceCommand (I prefer MS VoiceCommand).
DataDisconnect - used by CommManager to stop data connections.
DeviceInfo - ControlPanel applet that displays information about your phone such as talk time, hardware and ROM info.
DShow - DirectShow drivers used audio/video decoding & rendering
EnlargeStartMenu - used to enlarge the Start Menu - no longer useful with WM 6.5

InvokeSIMMgr - adds the option to open SIM Manager from Contacts
JBlendJava - Java Midlet Manager by JBlend (I prefer JBed)
LargeTitleBar - application that will display a full screen representation of your tray icons for better finger selection. (not sure if this works with 6.5, I always remove it)
LockStreamDRM - DRM system included by HTC, if you remove it you will need to modify boot.rgu in the XIP (discussed previously in this thread).
LongPressEndKey - has three parts endkey.exe, LongPressEndKey and ButtonSettingApp.dll. endkey.exe is a stand alone application that can do various actions when you hold down the end key. It is configured via the registry. LongPressEndKeyApp which is a full screen application that will pop up when you hold down the end key. ButtonSettingApp.dll is the driver that sets the registry based on what you select in the App. I personally use endkey.exe plus the appropriate registry setting to switch between normal and silent and delete the rest of the crap.
mHubVO - various codecs (do not delete, required for several applications)
MicrophoneAGC - Control Panel applet that allows to enable/disable automatic gain control for the Microphone.
Mute - used by CommManager to enable/disable silent mode.

Sounds like you have two copies of the CPR in your kitchen. I would suggest a program like Agent Ransack (http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/) to search your kitchen for duplicate files. You will also want to remove all instances of Thumbs.db which are created automatically when you have your Explorer details set to Thumbnails (from Explorer go to Tools\Folder Options\View\Do not cache thumbnails).

Ahh, I was afraid of that. You will need to delete PACKAGE_Raphael_TaskManager and PACKAGE_Raphael_TaskManager_0409 from \ElfinK_WWE\OEM\. I included it from my Raphael because it is WM 6.5 ready and I didn't think there was anything VGA specific about it. Seems I was wrong.

Actually, it may just be a registry setting, do you want to try this?
If you open FdcSoft Task Manager and go select RegEdit.
Then go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]
Change
"LargeIconSize"=dword:00000040
to
"LargeIconSize"=dword:00000020
and see if that fixes it.

What about trying Task Manager from Mega Package it is QVGA

What about trying Task Manager from Mega Package it is QVGA

I'm told (by dsixda) that the task manager that came with 3.10.710.0 should actually be fine. If you want to delete the Raphael Task Manager under \OEM and move the default Task Manager from \EXT\ExcludedPackages to \EXT\IncludedPackages that should get you going.

There are a few ways to make registry changes. I prefer to find the original entry and edit it there. The program I mentioned before (Agent Ransack) is handy for finding the location of registry entries (it will search the content of all files).

The alternative is to add the entry to one of the RGU files in the OEM or create a provxml that makes the change. What do you want to change?

What about the start menu do you want to change?

[svprm]

I don't know which one is better?So
RGU files in the OEM or create a provxml.
and explain how to?

Start Menu:
I want to move the folder or files for one folder to other.
Ex:
In Start Menu,
Move Blue tooth Icon Setting folder to Outside of Setting folder.

Thanks for your help.

[hardikrajgor123]

noob question....first do we port the sys or the xip.....?

Thanks for your help.

Adding the entries to an RGU is better than creating a provxml since the provxml file is left in your \Windows directory. Do you know what value you want to change and perhaps I can suggest where and how to do it?

As for the Bluetooth Icon you can move it anywhere in the Control Panel.

HKLM\ControlPanel\Bluetooth
Group=-1

Group = -1 ;Control Panel main page
Group = 0 ;Personal
Group = 1 ;System
Group = 2 ;Connections

You can safely add the entry to the end of OEMDrivers\*.rgu. If you look in the rgu you should be able to see the format and use that as a template.

[svprm]

Any way to add a name to ROM
Ex:
Name will see in Device Information.

[honcorrd]

ok, i think a made a stuped thing

I remove everything from the \Ext except for Power and PowerOffWarning, flashed and now my device boot and stay at the IPL :(

Any idea? I was trying to see what apps i can remove and then added the necesary.

Edit:

I put back all again to the \EXT and flash it's up and running, man this hard to figure all out...

[trueg]

Thanks trueg

Any way to add a name to ROM
Ex:
Name will see in Device Information.

Here's one way....
If you look in \OEM\OEMVersion\ you will find two files.
c779b734-99ff-4d71-8290-399852459550.dsm
mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml

I would suggest that you delete mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml and create the file
c779b734-99ff-4d71-8290-399852459550.rgu instead. Inside that file put the following code...
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM]
"ROMVersion"="5.11.502.2"
"ROMDate"="15-Jul-09"


Both ROMVersion & ROMDate can be anything you want.

Example
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM]
"ROMVersion"="TrueG_Customized_Version1"
"ROMDate"="JAN 01 2010"


*note - you have to include an extra blank line at the end of the RGU.
